More than 60 middle school students from the Villanova area headed to Notre Dame's laboratories to test, create, and discover at our third annual "Full STEAM Ahead" event on November 18. The free community outreach introduces girls to science, technology, engineering, and the arts through hands-on experimentation.

"We were proud to partner with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Drexel University, and the IceCube Neutrino Observatory to bring real-world science challenges to Notre Dame," said Mrs. Kim Eife, Academic Dean and event organizer. During the day, students participated in a series of science rotations that included creating chemical reactions, dissection of owl pellets, design of tall structures, and exploration of the math and science of dance.
